Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop models of the implementation of industrial work practices in vocational high schools with work-based learning models that are valid, practical, and effective in improving the quality of fieldwork. This research was conducted in three Vocational High Schools in the Electronics Engineering major with 84 students and 10 supervisors. Data on the quality of fieldwork is obtained through performance observation sheets and assessment of structured task reports during the industrial work practice process. Analysis of the data in this study uses descriptive statistics to get the quality of the interpretation of the validity and practicality of model development and the level of performance achievements of respondents. The results showed that the development of the WBL training model was interpreted to be very valid with a value of 0.95 and very practical with a practicality percentage of 95.67%. In addition, the WBL model is more effective in improving the quality of fieldwork in terms of knowledge, professional attitudes, work mental readiness, and student independence in the model class significantly higher than conventional classes.
